You didn't punch out a guy because they asked you to finish your water inside, just like every other venue? Your restraint is commendable. Ignore these assholes trolling you. They don't know how hard it is to not assault someone for asking you to finish your drink inside.
Lesson learned: Don't share any stories from my personal life on this message board.
The lesson should be "Obey the rules of the venue if you want to be treated with respect". You were treated the way you were because you chose to ignore the employees of the venue (regardless how polite you were when choosing to ignore them). They were doing their job and don't have time to deal with every dude who thinks the rules should bend for him.
I go to a show about once a week if not more. Grabbing a cup of water on the way out is something I do fairly routinely while exiting. This is the first time I have ever been told by any venue that it was an issue; and I feel the over reaction was totally unjust.
I feel most of the comments here are just rude, insulting, and are mostly just people piling on. I haven't attacked anyone here personally. I'm over the whole getting judged harshly by random strangers thing. So the lesson I take out of here is: I regret sharing. Have a good one guys.

That's fair that you are used to doing something and thought the employee's were overreacting. The fact still remains that you were told by employees not to do something and you tried to talk your way out of it and then when told what to do again you chose to ignore what they were saying. It doesn't matter if you think the cops outside will bother you for a cup of water. You don't know what the employee's have to deal with or if they get in trouble for letting people break their rules. Maybe they were having a bad day and over reacted. Or maybe they were tired of people trying to "outsmart" the "No Drinks outside" rule and didn't want to deal with someone ignoring them. There are more perspectives here than just your own.

You posted this here for some kind of reaction. You wanted to tell us about it and see what we'd say. More people than you expected sided with the venue based on your telling of the story and I'm sorry if some of them are being rude or insulting but I do agree with the sentiment that you were in the wrong here for being told about a reasonable rule by multiple employees and making the choice that you didn't have to obey it (for whatever reasons you may have).
Next time just finish the water quickly (and don't give me "But i'll puke if I drink it fast") when told you can't take it outside.
So, I'm on vacation and had to go into work to sit in a 2 hour meeting about refrigerator temperatures.
How's everyone else's day going?
I opened my work email this morning to find hotel suggestions for a conference I am leaving for tomorrow. Thanks, work, but I booked mine weeks ago when I found out I was going... you know... like a professional.

I had a man on the phone tell me how I could do my job better. Typical day.
I have people tell me daily that they're going to have my job, or their taxes cover my paycheck so I work for them, anyone can answer a phone..... My favorite is when they call me a bitch or some other awesome name and hang up on me. I forget what it was like to not be yelled at by the general public every day.
Ah! No wonder I couldn't figure it out. I had never heard of it before, so I had no idea where to start. So yes, it's like jai alai, basketball and bumper cars.
By the way, I was at Milk Carton Kids & Sarah Jarosz at the Calvin last night. Joe mentioned that Northampton is way nicer than the next stop on the tour that he wasn't looking forward to- Albany. haha My friend and I tossed around the idea of possibly driving up there tonight because we enjoyed the show so much, but I doubt we will (we haven't talked yet today).
hahaha that's awesome. Because albany really does suck
It would be so much better if there was better parking.

Work is making me go out and drink beer at the Blackhawk's game tomorrow.
Here's the correlation between SAT scores and Facebook likes for music artists. This data means nothing, as there are lots of confounding variables and whatnot, but it's interesting to look at.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

I've always been dissatisfied with the amount of randomness in this thread. To give you all something to strive toward, the remainder of this post will come from a random word generator.

OK. Time out. How could a supposedly random word generator generate only relatively common nouns? Let me try another one. Time in.
